Laura stepped forward until she reached a clearing. She saw the snake there. Large, like in the stories. Scales (vảy rắn) as pale as moonlight. No, not scales. Feathers. Soft, downy feathers and a pair of wings. The snake opened its mouth, showing its teeth. It did not recoil at the sight of the flashlight and she realized it was blind.
Most people recoil at the sight of a wasp (ong bắp cày). But this fear of wasps, according to Holley, is somewhat unfounded. "They don't want anything to do with you," she said. "Stinging and attacking takes resources, and they don't have a lot of resources."
